In order to investigate the attitude containment control problem for a microsatellite cluster, an event-triggered adaptive sliding mode attitude containment control algorithm is proposed for the satellite cluster flight system under directed topology, so that attitude of followers asymptotically converges to the convex hull formed by the leaders’ orientations. At first, the event-triggered control strategy is introduced into the attitude containment control problem for the microsatellite cluster. The triggering condition consisting of state-dependent and time-dependent function is designed to adjust control period and avoid the Zeno behaviour. When the function value meets the triggering condition, the event is triggered, state information is sampled, control law is computed, and actuators are updated, while the control action performed in nontriggering time is the same as the previous triggering instant. Then, in the presence of model uncertainties and external disturbances, an event-triggered adaptive sliding mode attitude containment control algorithm is presented under directed topology, and sufficient and necessary conditions for the followers to enter into the target area formed by the leaders are given. Furthermore, cell partitions from graph theory are employed to investigate the influence of information topology on steady states of followers, which provides theoretical basis for orientation design of cluster satellites. Finally, simulation results show that the proposed control strategy could reduce control execution frequency, as well as ensure the similar control performance with the time-triggered one, and followers belonging to the same cell have the same steady states.

Fluctuations in operation resistance during the operating process lead to reduced efficiency in tractor production. To address this problem, the project team independently developed and designed a new type of hydraulic mechanical continuously variable transmission (HMCVT). Based on introducing the mechanical structure and transmission principle of the HMCVT system, the priority of slip rate control and vehicle speed control is determined by classifying the slip rate. In the process of vehicle speed control, the driving mode of HMCVT system suitable for the current resistance state is determined by classifying the operation resistance. The speed change rule under HMT and HST modes is formulated with the goal of the highest production efficiency, and the displacement ratio adjustment surfaces under HMT and HST modes are determined. A sliding mode control algorithm based on feedforward compensation is proposed to address the problem that the oil pressure fluctuation has influences on the adjustment accuracy of hydraulic pump displacement. The simulation results of Simulink show that this algorithm can not only accurately follow the expected signal changes, but has better tracking stability than traditional PID control algorithm. The HMCVT system and speed control strategy models were built, and simulation results show that the speed control strategy can restrict the slip rate of driving wheels within the allowable range when load or road conditions change. When the tractor speed is lower than the lower limit of the high-efficiency speed range, the speed change law formulated in this paper can improve the tractor speed faster than the traditional rule, and effectively ensure the production efficiency. The research results are of great significance for improving tractor’s adaptability to complex and changeable working environment and promoting agricultural production efficiency.

In this paper, an event-triggered integral sliding mode fixed-time control method for trajectory tracking problem of autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) with disturbance is investigated. Initially, the global fixed time stability is ensured with conventional periodic sampling method for reference trajectory tracking. By introducing fixed time integral sliding mode manifold, fixed time control strategy is expressed for the AUV, which can effectively eliminate the singularity. Correspondingly, in order to reduce the damage caused by chattering phenomenon, an adaptive fixed-time method is proposed based on the designed continuous integral terminal sliding mode (ITSM) to ensure that the trajectory tracking for AUV is achieved in fixed-time with external disturbance. In order to reduce resource consumption in the process of transmission network, the event-triggered sliding mode control strategy is designed which condition is triggered by an event. Also, Zeno behavior is avoided by proof of theoretical. It is shown that the upper bounds of settling time are only dependent on the parameters of controller. Theoretical analysis and simulation experiment results show that the presented methods can realize the control object.

This paper investigates the robust stabilization of the adaptive sliding mode control for a class of linear systems subjected to external disturbance via event-triggered communication (ETC) scheme. First, in order to reduce the bandwidth utilization, a discrete ETC scheme is proposed and the networked sliding mode function is derived using the ETC scheme. Based on the derived sliding mode function, a reduced-order networked sliding mode dynamics with communication delay is established. Second, by constructing a Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional (LKF), asymptotic stability and stabilization criteria of the reduced-order sliding mode dynamics are given in the form of linear matrix inequalities. According to the stabilization result, a novel event-triggered-based adaptive sliding mode controller is designed while guaranteeing the reachability of the sliding surface. Finally, simulation results illustrate the effectiveness and merit of the developed method.

In this paper, a direct yaw moment control algorithm is designed such that the corrective yaw moment is generated through direct control of driving and braking torques of four in-wheel brushless direct current motors located at the empty space of vehicle wheels. The proposed control system consists of a higher-level controller and a lower-level controller. In the upper level of proposed controller, a PID controller is designed to keep longitudinal velocity constant in manoeuvres. In addition, due to probable modelling error and parametric uncertainties as well as adaptation of unknown parameters in control law, an adaptive sliding mode control through adaptation of unknown parameters is presented to yield the corrective yaw moment such that the yaw rate tracks the desired value and the vehicle sideslip angle maintains limited so as to improve vehicle handling stability. The lower-level controller allocates the achieved control efforts (i.e. total longitudinal force and corrective yaw moment) to driving or regenerative braking torques of four in-wheel motors so as to generate the desired tyre longitudinal forces. The additional yaw moment applied by upper-lever controller may saturate the tyre forces. To this end, a novel longitudinal slip ratio controller which is designed based on fuzzy logic is included in the lower-level controller. A tyre dynamic weight transfer-based torque distribution algorithm is employed to distribute the motor driving torque or regenerative braking torque of each in-wheel motor for vehicle stability enhancement. A seven degree-of-freedom non-linear vehicle model with Magic Formula tyre model as well as the proposed control algorithm are simulated in Matlab/Simulink software. Three steering inputs including lane change, double lane change and step-steer manoeuvres in different roads are investigated in simulation environment. The simulation results show that the proposed control algorithm is capable of improving vehicle handling stability and maintaining vehicle yaw stability.

An implementable robust containment control algorithm is proposed for a group of underactuated ships in the presence of hydrodynamic parameter uncertainties and external disturbances. The control objective is to drive all the followers into the convex hull spanned by the virtual leaders, whose state information is available only to a subset of the followers. For this purpose, the ship model is primarily transformed to a strict-feedback form. In the kinematic design, a virtual containment controller, requiring the state information from its neighbors, is presented based on the results obtained from graph theory. In the dynamic design, a robust containment controller is developed through utilizing upper-to-up sliding mode control. In addition, in order to simplify the implementations of the control law, the command filtered backstepping (CFBP) method is introduced to prevent the analytic differentiations of the virtual law from each design step of the backstepping (BP) method. Subsequently, it is well proven that all the tracking errors could converge to and remain small neighborhoods of the equilibrium point. Finally, several simulation experiments are conducted to demonstrate the performance of the proposed control algorithm.
